Our Record Label

Touch and go records is an independent record label based in the Chicago, Illinois.



Touch and Go Records came into existence in late 1980, when the Ohio punk band Necros decided they wanted to put out a 7" record. Being in high school at the time, and having no money, they were aided in this project by their friends Tesco Vee and Dave Stimson, who were the geniuses behind a fanzine called Touch and Go. The 7"s by the Necros and the Fix (a Michigan punk band) were recorded in late 1980 and released in early 1981, and Touch and Go Records was officially born.

Early releases for Touch and Go consisted mainly of 7" vinyl singles by many of the early '80s Michigan / Ohio hardcore bands, including the Necros, the Meatmen, and Negative Approach
